✈️ Fun Fact: Airplanes don’t steer in the air with the yoke alone! Pilots use the rudder pedals to help coordinate turns and keep the aircraft flying smoothly and efficiently.

It’s one of the first skills you’ll learn in flight training and it might surprise you how much your feet do while you’re flying!

Think you have what it takes to fly? Come experience it for yourself with a discovery flight at Flight Deck Aviation.
